Chasm Crossing with Rope
Cross an arbitrary gap (several feet) between two tables using only a rope that is strung fairly tauntly between them. You start on the first table, and should attempt to end on the second table. Start by just crossing using the rope, and stopping when you get to the second table. For the full challenge, work out a way to get up onto the other table. Finally, for a real challenge, see if you can do the whole thing while keeping your center of gravity above the rope the whole time! I’ll bring a 1/4-inch solid braid nylon rope, but you can bring your own rope, if you like.
Another way to get bonus points would be if you can start at a random location on the table and find the rope first, before crossing over to the other table.
(Originally: Cross a two to four foot gap between two tables using a rope that has been strung over them. Your robot needs to start on the first table, and end on the second table.)
